To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when he plans to implement
measures outlined in the Government's response to the consultation on powers for dealing
with unauthorised development and encampments; and if he will make a statement.

<p>The Home Office is currently developing proposals announced by the Home Secretary

a public consultation on these proposals.</p>

<p>The Home Office collects and publishes data annually on the primary function of
police officers, as part of the police workforce statistics, published here:<br><a

<p>The Government takes the threat from all types of fraud, including identity fraud
seriously and recognises the devastating impacts frauds can have on victims. Frauds
are often facilitated by the misuse of personal details acquired lawfully or otherwise.</p><p>We
have set up the Joint Fraud Taskforce to bring together industry, law enforcement
and government to tackle fraud in a truly collaborative way, harnessing our collective
powers and resources to make it much more difficult for fraudsters to operate. This
includes educating the public on steps they can take to protect their personal details.
The joint public / private Take Five to Stop Fraud awareness campaign provides practical
tips individuals can do to protect their personal details from use by criminals.</p>

the provisions set out in the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill recommended by
the Rt RevJames Jones KBE in his report, The patronising disposition of unaccountable
power: a report to ensure the pain and suffering of the Hillsborough families is
not repeated, published on 1 November 2017, HC 511; and if he will make a statement.

<p>Rt Rev James Jones KBE's 2017 report recommended that consideration be given to
the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill &quot;once the Law Commission's work on
Misconduct in Public Office is complete, and government has agreed the detail of the
reform the Commission sets out&quot;.</p><p>The Law Commission's work is currently
on-going. Once the review of Misconduct in Public Office is complete, Government will
consider and respond to the Law Commission's conclusions. The Government will also
provide a full response to the 2017 report in due course, following the conclusion
of the ongoing criminal proceedings.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, which construction organisations
and projects pay for their own policing; how many police personnel are involved in
such protection; and what the cost is of that protection.

<p>The Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 requires local authorities in England
to provide a comprehensive and efficient library service, within available resources.
In considering how best to deliver this statutory duty, each local authority is responsible
for determining local needs, which may include the provision of a mobile library service.</p>

<p>Age verification for online pornography is a world-leading measure to protect our
children from adult content which is currently far too easy to access online. The
Government, and the British Board of Film Classification as the regulator, are taking
the time to get the implementation of this policy right and ensure it is effective.</p><p>The
government recently announced that from 15 July commercial providers of online pornography
will be required by law to carry out robust age -verification checks on users, to
ensure that they are 18 or over.</p>

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what assessment
he has made of the economic effect of air pollution on (a) vulnerable groups and (b)
children who (i) live, (ii) learn and (iii) play in affected areas.

<p>The Government assesses economic impacts based on advice from the Committee on
the Medical Effects of Air Pollutants (COMEAP), a committee to the Department of Health
and Social Care. The latest advice from COMEAP (a <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/734799/COMEAP_NO2_Report.pdf"
target="_blank">report</a> published in August 2018), does not attribute specific
morbidity to schools or children, rather to the whole population, including all vulnerable
groups.</p><p> </p><p>However, we recently published updated air quality <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/770576/air-quality-damage-cost-guidance.pdf"
target="_blank">appraisal values</a>. These damage costs incorporate the latest evidence
from Public Health England to reflect the impacts of particulate matter and nitrogen
dioxide on asthma cases relating to children.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has committed
£3.5 billion overall to deliver actions across all sectors and achieve cleaner air
for people of all ages, including all vulnerable groups; published our <a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/770715/clean-air-strategy-2019.pdf"
target="_blank">Clean Air Strategy</a> in May 2018; and is also shortly bringing forward
a new Environment Bill, which will include strong commitments to improve the air we
all breathe.</p>
